Archer Farms Black Pepper & Sea Salt Potato Chips: Product Review

I have always been a big fan of salty snacks, especially chips. I would take a bag of potato chips or Doritos over ice cream or cookies any day of the week. When it comes to potato chips, plain ones were never my favorite. I love all the different flavors of potato chips, especially barbecue and salt & vinegar. I usually purchase Utz or Lay's brand chips at the store because that's what I grew up with.

Then, about a year ago, I was browsing through my local Target super store and noticed that they carried their own brand of chips called Archer Farms. The Archer Farms potato chips were available in around 10 different flavors, including tempting ones like Buffalo Wings and Black Pepper & Sea Salt. From the picture on the bag, it looks as though they were more like kettle-style chips than regular potato chips, and normally I don't care for kettle-cooked chips. But, the Archer Farms potato chips were on sale for two dollar per bag, which was a full $1.50 cheaper than the national brand potato chips, so I decided to pick up a bag of the Archer Farms chips and try them out.

When I got home and went to open the Archer Farms Black Pepper & Sea Salt potato chips, the first thing I noticed was that the bag was designed much better than an ordinary potato chip bag. Rather than just tearing open the seam at the top of the bag, the Archer Farms chips actually featured a resealable "ziploc-type" zipper which I really liked. The potato chips smelled wonderful and seemed fresh. When I bit into the first chip, I was surprised that it was very crunchy but not as crunchy as other kettle-cooked chips I had had in the past. The flavoring was also perfect, giving the chips just a bit of a kick and making them a quick, savory snack for anytime of day.

Since then, the Archer Farms Black Pepper & Sea Salt chips have become one of my favorite snacks, and I make sure to pick up a few bags whenever I go to Target. They taste better than the national brands and come with a cheaper price tag. The regular price for a bag of Archer Farms chips is $2.69, however they are often on sale for $1.50 to $2.00 so you can save money by stocking up then. Archer Farms also makes baked potato chips for those who would prefer a healthy alternative. If you are a potato chip lover like me, head to your local Target and try a bag of Archer Farms potato chips...you'll be glad you did!
